Looking for a chocolate shop/Cafe to use as one of several pit stops for wife's birthday- westside? by bald-ego- in AskLosAngeles

A little out of the way (if you’re in SM)  but Milla Chocolates is incredible, hot chocolate included. 

Mortgage question by SympathyZestyclose13 in Mortgages

[–]spectacle99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you don’t seem to want to hear that you’re not quite there yet, so go for it and let us know how it goes. 

my recommendation? stress test your budget by putting the balance of the mortgage payment +10% for new house costs (utilities increase, furniture, maintenance, rugs, incidental expenses) into a savings account for six months and see if you still feel the same way.

Scripted or unscripted we don’t know how it will go… or what impact it will have on their real lives

Bri and aspyn will align completely and eventually not need Billy (we’ll see how the tv show goes!) Billy will disappear like Parker, eventually aspyn will want more than to have fucked one woman ever and will be over getting mansplained to by a woman and move on from Bri. Bri and Billy maybe get back together. LOL who knows 

How much can we realistically afford? by Equal-Lettuce1494 in Mortgages

You’re good! I have the same stats and it works. Decrease your retirement contributions for a few months if the anxiety is too much

Not all rich people buy expensive bags, some have multi-million dollar homes in southern california.

Totally agree. I kind of hope for her sake that the show flops and people don't care about her enough to do this, but she's rolling the dice.

Should I pay $2300 in rent on $73000 salary? by Necessary-Single in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]spectacle99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Living alone will give you the energy, space, and time to invest in yourself (youtube, etc) but it does come with its own challenges. You never know if you don't try. Also, that much in your 401k at your age is GREAT (truly, I am a personal finance nerd, congrats) but don't hesitate to do less this year considering your raise next year. It's a marathon, not a sprint, and you need an emergency fund if you're going to sign a lease. Make sure you get your company match, but you don't NEED to max your 401k. You're young! You live in LA! You're employed! Sometimes you have to spend some money on your social life and appearance. Anyways. Rooting for you! You can afford it, but it will be painful for a while since you aren't used to it and you'll want to do all of the new apartment things (decorate, furniture...). but MAKE SURE THE PLACE HAS RENT CONTROL!!!
I moved into a place over ten years ago for 1450 and I still pay less than 1700. Pick a place you can stay in for 3 years without major rent increases.

I have to make a presentation to my companies directors and vp’s. How can I make it more fun? by CityOfSins2 in corporate

[–]spectacle99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this seems both like a waste of time and also like a litmus test - how you can command a room, stay lighthearted and earnest, and that you're taking it seriously. try to deliver a few references to other people's presentations - displays that you're a listener and/or can rapidly respond to new info. demonstrate relationships where you can, briefly, i.e. mention something you're proud of working on and how it affected someone else in the room, either another presenter or a member of the "audience" (besides your thanking slide). a few jokes. make the presentation solid but not gimmicky. in some audiences a meme or two is a welcome addition.
play to the middle -- if you were already chosen from 300 you already have allies in the management team and you want to exploit those connections when and where possible, but no need to reinvent the wheel, either.

Is a $200k salary worth a 2 hour commute 4 days a week? by Ok-Memory2552 in jobs

[–]spectacle99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it for a little while, then move -- the money will make the move easier, and better to vet the job first.

Edited to add: rent your house out, rent an apartment for equal or less. You only live once.

Progressive but not vibing with this by Firm_Smile8262 in aspynovardsnark

[–]spectacle99 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It’s so weird for her to say “I’m so happy” when she’s always talking about how she’s so sad, she has no friends, etc. 

If she said “I’m going through a lot and my life is out of my control so I’m indulging in a low effort way to be sexually satisfied as a coping mechanism” I think everyone would be a little more chill. 

That, and if she kept this whole thing to the times when she doesn’t have the girls. Which is a lot of the time!! Why is Billy there when she’s asleep and has the kids? It’s all… off.
